Activists and business owners in Chicago are calling for officials to reinstate last summer's citywide curfew for minors after multiple days of large gatherings of young people that resulted in chaotic scenes and multiple arrests. Some were involved in "reckless and disruptive behavior," and two teenagers were shot in the area of State and Madison streets in the middle of a large crowd. The curfew, issued by Mayor Lori Lightfoot last summer in response to similar events, says that Thursdays through Sundays beginning at 6 p.m., those under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult.
